A NOTE FROM GEORGE
Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking the time to explore this book. What you're about to read isn't just a collection of memories or insights—it’s a reflection of my life with my wife, Jodell, and the journey we’ve been on for over 30 years. It’s a journey filled with love, faith, family, and the kind of resilience that can only come from navigating life’s ups and downs together. God’s grace has been at the center of it all, guiding us through both the joyful and difficult moments. I’ve also included the latest version of my blog series "Beliefs That Matter" in the appendix, where I offer a deeper look into the values and principles that guide my life.
MISSION: Jodell and I founded Alderpen Media, INC. in May 2021 with the mission to equip purpose-driven parents with the resources they need to thrive at working or running a business from home while minimizing the chaos, enjoying the fun times, and keeping up with the responsibilities of parenthood.
SENSITIVE CONTENT: I want to be upfront about the fact that parts of this book touch on sensitive topics, like struggles with depression, injuries, and emotional challenges. These experiences are part of what has shaped me, and I believe in being honest about the hard parts of life. I’ve also written this book from my perspective as an Intuitive Empath, which influences how I understand and process the world around me. I realize this may feel unfamiliar—or even uncomfortable—for some, but it's an important aspect of who I am.
PROUD PARENT: Jodell and I are incredibly blessed to have been chosen by God to be the parents of two amazing daughters, Antonia and Julia. Antonia, who is transgender, and Julia have each been uniquely created by God, and we deeply respect their journeys and the individuals they have become. In honoring their privacy and ensuring their voices are represented, we have made it a priority to involve them in the process of creating this book. In Antonia's case, this means respecting the fact that she is, and always has been, our daughter—even if it took us more time to fully realize that than it typically does for parents. Every story in this book that involves Antonia or Julia has been reviewed and approved by them prior to publishing. We have always believed in the importance of protecting our family while sharing our story, and this is no exception.
For those who have questions about my personal beliefs concerning LGBTQ issues, I encourage you to read the article I’ve included in the appendix titled "GOD DOESN’T MAKE MISTAKES: UNIQUENESS IN GOD’S CREATION." This article begins with a discussion about intersex people, as I believe that the ways God creates both intersex and LGBTQ individuals are closely connected, and it reflects my understanding of God’s design and my stance on these important matters.
GOAL: My goal with this book is to give you a chance to know me before you decide if I'm someone you want to follow, whether through my videos, my writing, or as part of The Home Work Community. I believe that transparency matters. I'd rather connect with a smaller group of people who truly understand who I am and what I stand for than have anyone feel misled down the line. If my experiences, insights, and faith resonate with you, and you want to stay informed as we work toward building this community than I would suggest you:

As you read this book, and learn more about me, I invite you to consider if The Home Work Community is for you. My dream is to create a place where purpose-driven parents can come together to share their stories, learn from each other, and thrive as they balance working or running a business from home—without sacrificing what matters most: the relationships you have with your spouse and children. As The Home Work Dad, I’ll be sharing lessons from over 30 years of working and running businesses from home while raising a family. It hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been worth it.
Through this book and the content I create, my hope is to build an inclusive community of people who are willing to share what has worked for them, and who are open to learning from others who—though they may not be professionals—have valuable experiences to offer.
As you read, I hope you find something meaningful—whether it's encouragement, a sense of connection, or even a bit of laughter. Most of all, I hope it reminds you that no matter what storms life may bring, you’re never alone.
